Su Lu and his entourage stayed in the village for the third night, and the next day they set off along the Beibi Mountain to Luoyang.

Beibi Mountain is not a mountain, it is composed of the main peak and many stretching side peaks like many famous mountains, and there are many famous tombs in it, such as Lü Buwei, Liu Xiu, Chen Houzhu, Li Houzhu and so on.

Listening to the introduction of the locals, Du Fu's tomb and Yan Zhenqing's tomb are also here, Su Lu first took Xiaocui to Yan Zhenqing to pay homage to her calligraphy teacher Yan Zhenqing, and opened the light for her pen; On behalf of his teacher Wang Anshi, he went to Du Fu's tomb to pay his respects, and enthusiastically weeded the tomb of the great poet.

The group of people is so searching for secrets, no one is too hard, but they know a little more about the Beipi area.

So many famous people are buried here, no wonder everyone comes here to visit the spring and talk about poetry and papers, they must want to feel the charm of their predecessors!

The group left in front of Du Fu's tomb and was discussing whether to go directly to Luoyang, when they saw three or five shacks in front of them, and a middle-aged scribe wearing a soap robe returned with a salary.

The middle-aged scribe holds a bamboo cane in his hand and wears a hat on his head, which is clearly the dress of a person from the mountains and wilderness, but it gives people a distinctive atmosphere. He was singing casually, but when he saw Su Lu and his party coming from a distance, he immediately stopped his mouth and raised his eyes to look at Su Lu and a few people.

Zhao Zhongjun saw that the other party was obviously a hermit, and he was energetic again.

He had already taken Su Lu crookedly, and when he saw someone, he wanted to take the initiative to talk, so he naturally took three steps and two steps forward, and said sincerely: "Our group has nowhere to rest along the way, and now we are thirsty and tired, I don't know if we can go to the gentleman's house to rest for a while and borrow a few bowls of tea to quench our thirst." ”

The middle-aged scribe said, "It's okay. It's just that there is no good tea in the mountains and wilderness, it is all wild tea in the mountains, and you are afraid that you will not be used to drinking it. ”

The group followed the middle-aged scribe inside, and the middle-aged scribe beckoned his disciples to make tea and entertain guests.

After sitting down and chatting on both sides, Su Lu knew that this person's name was Shao Yong, which sounded quite familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

Since I can't think of it, I guess it's not an important person.

Su Lu thought heartily and tasted the taste of wild tea with the others.

Shao Yong's words were not adulterated, this was definitely tea picked casually from the mountain, and the entrance was very bitter, Su Yan took a sip and put it down, but Zhao Zhongjun and they drank half of it embarrassedly, and they frowned.

Su Lu saw that Zhang Yunrou also frowned and took a big sip, taking advantage of others not paying attention to secretly stuff her with a piece of candy.

“……”

Zhang Yunrou took the candy and didn't eat it, because it was too rude, isn't that dislike of other people's tea bitterness in person?

Su Lu doesn't have this mental obstacle? Peeled a piece of candy yourself and put it in your mouth? This is what Yun Niang did as he instructed before leaving, and the sugar was mixed with some mint? Does it have the effect of refreshing the mind and keeping the breath fresh? Each one is also individually packaged, making it very convenient to carry. He doesn't bring money himself? This thing is in the purse, so it is convenient to eat one after dinner.

After eating sugar? Only to find that everyone else was looking at him faintly.

Su Lu said bluntly: "This tea is too bitter? I'm not used to drinking. He took out another piece of candy and gave it to Shao Yong, "This is the candy our family makes ourselves, Mr. Shao, try it!" ”

Shao Yong listened to him bluntly talk about the bitterness of tea, didn't he think it was angry? On the contrary, I think this kid is quite special. Person-to-person? The most important thing is to be honest with each other, and the most rare thing is to be honest with each other, just a cup of tea, bitter is bitter, and if you are not used to drinking, you are not used to drinking? You have to pretend, it's too tiring to live.

Shao Yong smiled and took the sugar? Peel it off and stuff it into your mouth, as that faint mint flavor spreads in your mouth? He was refreshed.

When it comes to eating, Su Yu talks a lot? Homeopathic to Shao Yong introduced? Say this mint tastes cold? Sprinkle a handful of seeds and plant a piece under the fence, and pick a few in the summer, whether it is a drink or seasoning, it is especially suitable for boiling lamb.

Of course, Shao Yong knows that peppermint, this thing used to be called lotus, recorded in the "New Materia Medica", which belongs to the herbs that can be used as medicine, and has the effect of clearing heat and diuresis, sweating and qi.

I just didn't expect that mint could have so many ways to eat.

After Su Lu said this, Shao Yong suddenly felt that a bush of mint was missing under his fence.

As soon as Su Lu interrupted, the others relaxed a lot when they spoke.

After noticing that Shao Yong was quite erudite, Zhao Zhongjun immediately actively asked questions and asked Shao Yong many questions. When it came to the meal, he was reluctant, asked someone to buy vegetables and meat nearby, and had a meal at Shao Yong's house before leaving.

Zhao Zhongjun and Su Lu sighed: "I didn't expect that there were such learned people hidden in this mountain. ”

Su Lu didn't think it was unusual, and said with a smile: "I see that when my teacher arrives in the place, the first thing is to invite the reclusive masters to go out of the mountain, and he also made up the 'Qingli Five Mr.' when he was in Yinxian County, which shows that there are a lot of such hermits!" ”

Hearing Su Yan ridicule his father like this, Wang Yan was dissatisfied: "What is 'making up', the five gentlemen are all local celebrities!" ”

When Zhao Zhongjun heard this, he became interested again, and immediately asked, "Which five gentlemen are they?" What books do you study? ”

Wang Yan introduced Zhao Zhongyan and said that these five gentlemen were Yang Shi, Du Yu, Lou Yu, Wang Zhi, and Wang Shuo, all of whom were of great use to the education in Mingzhou!

Zhao Zhongjun said: "In the future, if I govern one side, I will also go to find talents. ”

Su Lu said: "Then you have to keep your eyes open, I heard that Du Ruhui, the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, had an uncle named Du Yan, after he learned that Emperor Wen of Sui liked hermits and reused hermits, he teamed up with the hermits to deceive Emperor Wen of Sui and said that he was only eight buckets high, and Emperor Wen of Sui knew that he had been deceived when he saw it!" ”

Zhao Zhongjun was stunned, he didn't expect that someone would pretend to be a hermit to welcome the emperor.

Su Yan told Zhao Zhongjun about gossip again, saying that Du Yan later defected to Wang Shichong of the Hu people, and he became rampant and killed Du Ruhui's brother.

Tang Gaozu Li Yuan captured Du Yan alive after defeating Wang Shichong and decided to execute him, Du Ruhui was not ready to care, but Du Yan's family ran to Du Ruhui and said: "Your brother is dead, do you still want to lose your uncle!" ”

Du Ruhui repented after hearing this, and went to intercede for Du Yan in a hurry!

Du Yan was not only pardoned, but after Li Shimin ascended the throne, he also picked up an official position from Long Zhigong through Du Ruhui's work.

Su Lu said: "This incident tells us that if you want to live for a long time, you must be shameless!" ”

Zhao Zhongyan looked at Su Lu with a complicated expression, and when he heard Su Lu say this, his strength to go to find the hermit was gone.

He even felt that Du Ruhui, who was known as "Fang Mou Du Xuan", why did he listen to the nonsense of the Du family? Du Ruhui's brother died too unjustly, what do you mean by "Your brother is dead, do you still want to lose your uncle"? Is this talking about human words?

The group set off towards Luoyang, and only at dusk did they see the city wall in the distance.

Su Lu sighed: "I'm a little hungry." ”

In ancient times, it was really inconvenient to go far away, even if they were not short of money, had a car and a donkey, they still felt very tired. If it weren't for the good itinerary, I'm afraid I would have to sleep in the open on the way!

"It's almost there, let's go quickly, let's go to the post station for a night." Zhao Zhongjun said with relief.

The post station generally only receives past officials, but Zhao Zhongjun has a special identity, although he is out to study, he can take people to live in the post station, and the food and drink in the post station are naturally taken at will.

This year, Zhang Fangping's "Jiayou Post Order" was officially implemented, Su Rong observed the implementation along the way, and arrived at the terminal station at this time, after nightfall, Su Rong summarized the observation results along the road, and prepared to let the people at the post station send Zhang Fangping back.

After writing the observation report to Zhang Fangping, he wrote a letter to Wang Anshi, describing the scenery of the north to Wang Anshi in great detail, saying that he walked in front of Du Fu's tomb today, the grass around Du Fu's tomb is very high, and the students have intimately helped to remove the light.

After writing the letter to the teachers, Su Lu was very moved.

As a good student, he is really not grateful to his teachers!

A good student like him can't even be found outside with a lantern!

After Su Yun finished writing the letter, he walked to Zhang Yunrou again, asked her if she was not used to it as usual, and then shared the letter he wrote to Zhang Fangping and Wang Anshi to Zhang Yunrou, and asked her if she would also write a letter to the family and send it back.

After reading Su Yan's two letters, Zhang Yunrou couldn't help but fall silent.

The letter Su Lu wrote to her father was clearly pointing fingers at the "Jiayou Post Order", saying that there was no problem here.

Su Lu's letter to Wang Anshi was showing off that he had a lot of fun in the northern area, and even went to see Du Fu's tomb!

According to Su Fu's previous statement, Wang Anshi was very fond of Du Fu's poems, not only studied them carefully, but also made a poetry collection for Du Fu and learned to write poems from Du Fu. Now Wang Anshi is riddled with miscellaneous things and can't come out to play, but Su Lu also described to him that Beibi is not only beautiful, but also can worship Du Fu, Wang Anshi is afraid that he wants to beat him!

"How is it?" I'm the best disciple in the world", Zhang Yunrou was speechless. She said: "I also wrote a letter to my father and mother. ”

Soon after they traveled, someone sent by the family chased them to the post station to deliver something to her.

Seeing someone from home, Zhang Yunrou knew that Zhang Fangping and Ma Shi didn't blame her for following Su Lu to travel. It is precisely because of the tolerance and preference of her parents that Zhang Yunrou is even more ashamed in her heart, and she inevitably reviewed it seriously when she wrote the letter, saying that she would definitely discuss it with her family next time.

Su Lu didn't see her at all, lying next to her to watch her write a review letter, and felt that her daughter-in-law was really well-behaved and obedient.

Late at night, Su Lu came out of Zhang Yunrou's room with three letters, and happened to meet Zhao Zhongjun who came back from the thatched house outside.

Zhao Zhongjun blinked, rubbed his eyes again, and made sure that Su Yan came out of Zhang Yunrou's room, and couldn't help asking, "It's so late, what are you talking about with Brother Zhang Xian behind our backs?" ”

Su Lu said: "It's nothing, let's write a letter to the family together." ”

Zhao Zhongjun replied with an "oh", always feeling that something was still not right between the two of them, so after Su Lu returned to the room, he secretly went to Wang Yan and told him his suspicions about Su Lu and Zhang Yunrou. He said with a sad face: "You said that Brother Su Xian and Brother Zhang Xian will not have a habit of dragon yang, right?" ”

Zhao Zhongjun has recently started to read history books, and he has seen the allusions to Longyang's fetish. In the history books, this kind of person is usually recorded in the biography of Yu Xing, Zhao Zhongjun regards Su Lu as a good brother, and also appreciates the literary brilliance of "Zhang Xiumao", and really doesn't want them to go astray!

Zhao Zhongjun told his worries in one go.

Coming all the way, Wang Yan also felt that there was a kind of closeness between Su Lu and Zhang Yunrou that others could not insert.

Wang Yan could only be relieved: "Don't be afraid, generally speaking, only the bewitching king will enter the legend of Yu Xing, and ordinary people will not record it in the history books no matter how they come." ”

Zhao Zhongjun thought about it, so he stopped thinking about it.

No matter what, he will respect Su Lu's choice and never look at him with strange eyes!

Although Zhao Zhongjun and Wang Yan both decided to accept the "relationship" between Su Lu and Zhang Yunrou, they still inevitably paid more attention to them the next day.

Su Lu was such a keen person, and quickly noticed their gaze full of "we don't mean anything else, we just want to see".

Su Lu had no idea what they were making up in their heads.

After breakfast, it was time for them to visit Wen Yanbo, the number one in Henan Province and currently sitting in Luoyang.

Before leaving, they exchanged information about Wen Yanbo, and learned in advance what kind of person Wen Yanbo was.

It's a pity that they are still young, there are not too many news channels, and no matter how much they exchange information, they can only barely know that he is the same year as Han Qi, Bao Zheng and others, and in the early years, he discussed disarmament with Pang Ji, and he couldn't say anything else.

However, knowing his network is enough, and these people who are good friends with him are all senior members of the DPRK and China, which is enough to prove that Wen Yanbo himself is also very good.

No wonder Ouyang Xiu specially explained that they were going to visit Wen Yanbo when they arrived in Luoyang.

When he was in Kaifeng, Su and the others also met with Wen Yanbo a few times, but they didn't visit them properly. They came to the outside of the palace together, ordered the gatehouse to go in and spread the word, and were soon welcomed into the back office.

It didn't take long for Wen Yanbo, who was dressed in official robes, to return to the back office.

Wen Yanbo is 53 years old this year, his body is still strong, and his steps are steady.

Seeing Su Lu and a few young men, Wen Yanbo didn't put on a show, and said with a smile: "I thought you should have arrived a few days earlier, but I didn't expect to arrive today." ”

Zhao Zhongjun said embarrassedly: "We walked slowly on the road and were delayed. Yesterday we arrived at the post station, but it was not too early to see the hour, so we planned to come to visit Xianggong again this morning. ”

Wen Yanbo had seen Su Yan and the three of them earlier, but Zhang Yunrou had only one face. He asked kindly, "Which Langjun is this?" ”

Su Lu said: "A distant relative of my teacher's family. ”

Wen Yanbo quipped: "Is it you Mr. Zhang, or is it your Mr. Wang?" ”

Su Lu didn't know that he was so famous for worshipping two teachers. He said without changing his face: "Naturally, it's Mr. Zhang, isn't this surnamed Zhang!" ”

Wen Yanbo just asked, but after listening to Su Yu's words, he didn't doubt it, and only politely asked them to have a light meal together for a while.

Zhao Zhongjun excused himself and agreed.

Wen Yanbo entertained the four of them for a meal and asked them if they wanted to go to play.

Zhao Zhongjun thought of the direction of his strategy, and immediately said: "Let's not go play first, we want to see the local chronicles and learn about the canal." I heard that there are granaries left over from the Sui and Tang dynasties in Luoyang, is it true? ”

Wen Yanbo sighed when he heard this: "Yes, there is, but it is used less." He explained to Zhao Zhongjun, saying that the canal silting is becoming more and more serious, although people have to be recruited to clean it every year, it is still more and more inconvenient to transport, and in order to ensure the supply of Kaifeng, sometimes even the water from Luoyang will be introduced into the Kaifeng water network, all to ensure that the Kaifeng waterway is smooth, and the granary here in Luoyang is less and less used.

It was the first time that Su Lu and the others had heard of this.

It seems that the neighbors of the capital are not good at all!
